[QUOTE="craig, post: 103619, member: 1959"] Here is what I find in my clutch instruction sheets, page 9 and 10, but cropped to only step 3 of assembly. Is there a torque spec for "very tightly"? 20ftlbs? 80ftlbs? [I]3) Remove all traces of oil or grease from the shoe linings and the drum. Apply a liberal coating of some non-setting gasket cement to the internal splines, and fit the carrier to the clutch shaft. Verify that the copper washer C18, or carrier seal C18/1 is correctly in its place in the recess in the outer face of the clutch carrier, this is most important. Verify that the thrust washer, C19, is in place on the clutch retaining nut. Smear a light coating of gasket cement in the thread of the nut, and[B] screw it up very tightly[/B]. Check by turning the clutch shoe carrier backwards and forwards, by means of the projecting pins, that the carrier can move freely and that both sets of shoe linings can be brought hard into contact with the drum. If this is correct, verify that one of the locking slots in the nut is in line with one of the slots in the shaft, if not, [B]tighten the nut a little more[/B], do not slacken it back. When tightening this nut, engage top gear, and put a bar through the rear wheel spokes and up underneath the rear fork tubes or else use a piece of steel to set as a sprag between the sprocket teeth and the gearbox casting, according to whether the rear chain is in place or has been detached.[/I] [/QUOTE]
